    Note , 264-265   Picked up form Colin Pentland notes.  Note:  Drumbo, Co. Down, The parish church here on a very ancient site is used by the Presbyterians and the Church of Ireland (which was the established church until around 1870 and was the custodian of all burial records though other denominations kept baptism and marriages records) did not have a church in the parishuntill 1788.   Henry was known to be a Architect.

The map shows the parishes of Co. Antrim lying in the vicinity of Lisburn.  Lisburn lies on the borders of Counties Antrim and Down, and the parish of Blaris/Lisburn straddles the county border.  Colin says he has also sketched the position of the adjoining Co. Down parishes of Drumbo and Hillsbourgh.

As you probably know Irish Church records were destroyed in Dublin in 1922, making genealogy difficult.  However a number of churches particularly larger ones kept their own and we are lucky that so much has survived in the area of interest to us.

Notes:
                   April 10 2007 I ran on to a book called IRELAND a history by Robert Kee, I had been curious about why the Pentlands ended up  coming to America.  WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN IRELAND TO  ENCOURAGE THEM TO  LEAVE IRELAND

                                                 BEWARE OF IRISH KNOWLEDGE:

        About 800 years ago the Government of England made a claim to concern itself with Ireland.  In an attempt to assert thier claim has given the government of London the most consistent problem of her long history of taking over Scotland, Ireland, and giving a good go with the Continent of Europe.

        Nearly four centuries ago, on 1 December 1598, Queen Elizabeth I was complaining that although she was spending and excessive amount of money on 'these late dangerous altercations in Ireland...yet we receive naught else but news of fresh losses and calamities...'.  "We will not suffer our subjects any longer to be opressed by those vile rebels."

       Two centuries later on 23 Jan 1799, the Prime Minister of the day, William Pitt, was still struggling with the same problems, saying in the House of Commons, the same issues were still in place.

       These same problems were bombings, murdering inocent people.  In one of the prison' cells late in 1867 there sat Richard O'Sullivan Burke, a leader of the Fenians  (Irish group) the Irish Pepublican movement of the day which already boasted an Irish Republican Army.   FREEDOM FROM ENGLAND THEIR GOAL.

                                                         THE GREAT FAMINE

       No event in Irish history has had a more emotional effect on the Irish people than the Great Famine 1845 to 1849.  Millions died of starvation.    It seems that there were so many living at the poverty level that when the potato crrops in 1845 were ravaged by a new and fatal fungus diesese, the situation had reched a point where the removal of that one means of sustenance meant a sentence of death for those trapped in the subsistence economy of the west and south-west, and great suffering elsewhere.

       NOTE THE DATES CAREFULLY  FOR THIS ACTION OF SEPARATION, OF THOSE WHO HAD, AGAINST THOSE WHO HAD NOT, BEGAN.

       1856 DOES IT SUGGEST IN YOUR MIND WHAT MADE OUR FAMILIES LEAVE IRELAND, SCOTLAND, AND ENGLAND TO COME TO AMERICA????
